Tulane mc.de a master
move in obtaining Bernie
Bierman as head coach of
football for the 1927 season,
an experienced mentor and
well versed in the style of
football the Greenies have
been accustomed to using
for the past decade, Bierman
fits well into the scheme of
things.
Besides, Bierman is well­known
here, is held in high
esteem by those athletes who
worked under him at Tulane
between 1923 and 1925, and
possesses an air of confi­dence
which he probably will
instill into his gridders.
Bierman is a graduate of
the University of Minnesota,
where he won letters in foot­ball,
basketball and track.
He was halfback under
Coach "Doc" Williams for
four years and in 1915 was
captain of the team.
He first c:>ached at the

went through a tough schedule un·
defeated. Lautenschlaeger was also
awarded letters In baseball and
basketball at Tulane.
Pete M alhles, line coach, served
in the same capacity last season.
He is a big fellow who knows and
is able to show how the various po·
sitions on the line should be played.
He was captain and tackle of the
Tulane eleven In 1915 and gained
experience In coaching at the
Knights of Columbus, where he was
In charge of athletic activities for
several years, playing and coaching

Butte High School. From
there be entered the U. S.
Marine Corps during the
world war and, after being
discharged with the commis­sion
of captain, be a ccepted
the coaching duties at the
University of Montana, in
September 1919 and resigned
there in June 1922. During
his regime at Montana he
won the state basketball
championship twice, three
track and football titles.
Bierman came to Tulane
as assistant football coach
and head track coach in 1923
and stayed here until 1925,
when he shifted his work to
•he Mississippi A. & M . Col­lege.
Bierman made such a
fine showing with his various
teams at Starkville that he
was the first man consid­ered
last spring when it was
urgent that Tulane find a
new coach.
That man mountain on t h e Tu·
lane bench Is Ted Cox, assistant
coach. Cox Is an alumnus and
former football captain of the Uni·
verslty of Minnesota, being twice
honored on the All-Western confer­ence
team as tackle.
Graduating in 1925, Cox coached
at River Falls, Wisconsin, Normal
School from where he resigned t o

THE SPIRIT OF THE TEAM
The peppiest bunch of gridsters that ever donned Olive and Blue togs practiced m the ojd
Tulane stadium for nearly a month preceding th e first game with Ole Miss on October 1. That
same squad of youths, instilled with the devil-d og, never-say-die-idea, is taking the field today,
determined to wash out and obliterate Homer Hazel's Mighty Mississippians.
Coach Bernie Bierman, besides being a nationally famous football figure. is captain in the
Marine Reserve Corps. When Bernie landed at Tulane, the situation was not so well, speaking
football, but when the Marines land, there's only one possible sequel, "THE MARINE HAS LAND­ED
AND THE SITUATION IS WELL IN HAND."
H•:>t days were common to the gridsters when practice began.It was not an uncommon occur­,
ence for the Mercury to hover in the immediate vicinity of the century mark while the Greenies

But, there was one thing
conspicuo!JS during the
many practices and scrim­mages,
and that was the
excessive amounts of pep
which seemed to be a part
of the forty-odd candi­dates
for the Tulane
squad. The Wave-men
practiced for two hours at
a time, many times under
hot summery skies, but al­ways
that PEP. That
PEP will make the Wave
this year. The determ:O­ation
and pep will make
the Tulane Green Wave,
which seemed a rather
subdued ripple last year,
a t:nighty TIDAL WAVE.
A tidal wave that will
sweep through eight con­ference
games, and drown
out as many conference
teams.

Browne was captain of freshman eleven in 1924,
playing in the backfield. In 1925 he alternated
between tackle and halfback, but this year he
will be found at his natural position-end. He
is fast. a good receiver of forward passes and is

OLE MISS
Coach Homer Hazel. f.:lrmer AU-American football player of Rutgers University will pit against
the Tulane Greenies today a .team that should give more trouble than the Ole Miss eleven that faced
Tulane last season. The Mississippians will present a scrapping, shifty bunch of youngsters.
The Greenies will see action for the first time of the season today, whereas the visitors started
the seas•:>n last Saturday with a overwhelming victory over the College of the Ozarks. The Ole Miss
eleven looked mighty good in this contest and Hazel was well pleased with the results, according to
reports from Oxford.
Ole Miss has five veterans back in harness this season. They are Captain Austin Applewhite,
end; V. K. Smith, guard; "Hubby'' Walker, quarterback: "Tadpole" Smith and Solly Cohen, backs.
Around these men Hazel is building his 1927 machine.

BEST SCHEDULE IN HISTORY
Followers of Tulane's f·:>otball team will sit down to a gridiron repast this season such as has
never been served before in Tulane Stadium.
Few teams in the South can boast of an All-Conference schedule of eight games such as
Tulane has this year. The demand for good games has caused Dr. Wilbur C. Smith, athletic direc­tor,
to give Tulane a schedule which includes the very best teams in the Southern Conference, with
one exception, Alabama.
Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech. Georgia and Auburn are four teams which are usually in the thick
of the fight for the title each year. Scheduling all four-two of them for home games-in one sea­son
is a feather in Tulane's cap.
Added to these four games are contests with Ole Miss, which has been rapidly coming to the

The game with Mississippi A. &. M. will be interesting because of the Bierman angle. Bernie
expects the Aggies to have a better team than the one with which he defeated Tulane, 14-0, last year.
Tulane's clash with Sewanee will always be attractive. even though the lads from the Moun­tain
are doomed for annual defeat. No cleaner play boys or a harder fighting outfit ever donned
the moleskins and Sewanee invariably gives the cash customers what is known as a "run for their
money.''
The other game of moment for Tulane is the Auburn contest. The Greenies lost 2 to 0 to
Dave Morey's team last year on the day they dedicated the new stadium. Quite naturally that defeat
is irritating.

Coaches Opinions
On Rule Changes
Below are given the
opinions of six of the
leading .Southern Con·
terence coaches on the
new changes In the of·
flclal football rules.
BER NI E
(Tulane) - "The com­mittee
made too many
:hanges. Many of them
haven't achieved any·
thing. Take the shift
rule, for example. In·
stead of making It eas·
ier on an official, the
rule which requires a
pause of one second­to
be figured by count·
ing 1·2-3-4-wlll make it
111 the harder. The ten·
dency to let punta roll
will be checked and
there'll be more quarter­backs
catching punts
·under the new rules."
MIKE DONAHUE
(L. S. U.)-"Timlng of
shift will work hard·
ships. M oving goal
posts will remove ob­'l
tilcles Interfering with
play. Uther changes
are desirable.''

will be benefitted by
them with possible ex·
ception of rule encour­aging
backward pass.
This may result in a
much more open game
which would eliminate
many of present rugged
qualities of football."
DAN McGUGIN (Van·
derbilt)-"The changes
will not effect game ma·
terially. ChangIng goal
will encourage
passing for extra point.
Lateral pass is so haz·
ardous, I am doubtful
whether change will en·
courage it. The most
important rule, doubt·
less, is the one prevent·
ing running back fum·
Died punts. This rule is
constructive as loss of
ball is sufficient penal·
ty. Heretofore, too
many games have been
lost on fumbled punts."
MIKE BENNETT (Se­
wanee) - "The rules
committee made step In
•ight direction. Changes
will make game for
everybody."
DAVE MOREY ( Au·
burn)-"lf it. is deemed
necessary to change the
rules each year, I pre·
sume the changes for
1927 are as good as any
of those of the past. I
favor no changes at all
for five years."

IMPORTANT CHANGES I N FOOTBALL RULES
1. GOAL POSTS.-The goal posts have been moved from the goal line to the end line.
2. DELAYING GAM E.-A delay of more than 30 seconds In putting the ball In play after it is ready for play,
or a team remaining more than 15 seconds In -a huddle, may b e considered as prima facie evidence of Intentional
delay of the game.
The captain may now claim time out only three times in each half instead of four times, as formerly.
3. SHIFT PLAYS.-In all shift or huddle plays the players must come to an absolute stop and remain
stationary in their positions and without movement of the feet or swaying of the body for a period of approxi­mately
one second. This period may be conveniently measured by rapidly counting "1-2-3-4.'' In case of doubt
the penalty shall be enforced. The penalty for violation has increased from 5 to 15 yards.
4. FUMBLED PUNTS.-When a punt is fumbled before the receiver gains possession of the ball, it Is a free

kicked the ball can not ad·

5. INCOMPLETE BACK·
WARD PASS.-Any player
may at any time hand or
throw the ball in any dlrec·

goal. If any such pass
made on first, second or third
down strikes the ground with·

the side which made the pass
at the point where It strikes
the ground. On fourth down
the ball shall go to the oppo­nents
at the same point, un­less
the required distance has
been made. The pas.s from
the snapper back to put the
ball in play is excepted from
this rule.

Tulane mc.de a master
move in obtaining Bernie
Bierman as head coach of
football for the 1927 season,
an experienced mentor and
well versed in the style of
football the Greenies have
been accustomed to using
for the past decade, Bierman
fits well into the scheme of
things.
Besides, Bierman is well­known
here, is held in high
esteem by those athletes who
worked under him at Tulane
between 1923 and 1925, and
possesses an air of confi­dence
which he probably will
instill into his gridders.
Bierman is a graduate of
the University of Minnesota,
where he won letters in foot­ball,
basketball and track.
He was halfback under
Coach "Doc" Williams for
four years and in 1915 was
captain of the team.

awarded letters In baseball and
basketball at Tulane.
Pete M alhles, line coach, served
in the same capacity last season.
He is a big fellow who knows and
is able to show how the various po·
sitions on the line should be played.
He was captain and tackle of the
Tulane eleven In 1915 and gained
experience In coaching at the
Knights of Columbus, where he was

discharged with the commis­sion
of captain, be a ccepted
the coaching duties at the
University of Montana, in
September 1919 and resigned
there in June 1922. During
his regime at Montana he
won the state basketball
championship twice, three
track and football titles.
Bierman came to Tulane
as assistant football coach
and head track coach in 1923
and stayed here until 1925,
when he shifted his work to
•he Mississippi A. & M . Col­lege.
Bierman made such a
fine showing with his various

THE SPIRIT OF THE TEAM
The peppiest bunch of gridsters that ever donned Olive and Blue togs practiced m the ojd
Tulane stadium for nearly a month preceding th e first game with Ole Miss on October 1. That
same squad of youths, instilled with the devil-d og, never-say-die-idea, is taking the field today,
determined to wash out and obliterate Homer Hazel's Mighty Mississippians.
Coach Bernie Bierman, besides being a nationally famous football figure. is captain in the
Marine Reserve Corps. When Bernie landed at Tulane, the situation was not so well, speaking
football, but when the Marines land, there's only one possible sequel, "THE MARINE HAS LAND­ED
AND THE SITUATION IS WELL IN HAND."
H•:>t days were common to the gridsters when practice began.It was not an uncommon occur­,

Browne was captain of freshman eleven in 1924,

Coach Homer Hazel. f.:lrmer AU-American football player of Rutgers University will pit against

Tulane last season. The Mississippians will present a scrapping, shifty bunch of youngsters.
The Greenies will see action for the first time of the season today, whereas the visitors started
the seas•:>n last Saturday with a overwhelming victory over the College of the Ozarks. The Ole Miss
eleven looked mighty good in this contest and Hazel was well pleased with the results, according to
reports from Oxford.
Ole Miss has five veterans back in harness this season. They are Captain Austin Applewhite,
end; V. K. Smith, guard; "Hubby'' Walker, quarterback: "Tadpole" Smith and Solly Cohen, backs.
Around these men Hazel is building his 1927 machine.

10 SOUVENIR TULANE FOOTBALL PROGRAM SEASON 1􀃗􍜷7
BEST SCHEDULE IN HISTORY
Followers of Tulane's f·:>otball team will sit down to a gridiron repast this season such as has
never been served before in Tulane Stadium.
Few teams in the South can boast of an All-Conference schedule of eight games such as
Tulane has this year. The demand for good games has caused Dr. Wilbur C. Smith, athletic direc­tor,
to give Tulane a schedule which includes the very best teams in the Southern Conference, with
one exception, Alabama.
Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech. Georgia and Auburn are four teams which are usually in the thick
of the fight for the title each year. Scheduling all four-two of them for home games-in one sea­son
is a feather in Tulane's cap.
Added to these four games are contests with Ole Miss, which has been rapidly coming to the

The game with Mississippi A. &. M. will be interesting because of the Bierman angle. Bernie
expects the Aggies to have a better team than the one with which he defeated Tulane, 14-0, last year.
Tulane's clash with Sewanee will always be attractive. even though the lads from the Moun­tain
are doomed for annual defeat. No cleaner play boys or a harder fighting outfit ever donned
the moleskins and Sewanee invariably gives the cash customers what is known as a "run for their
money.''
The other game of moment for Tulane is the Auburn contest. The Greenies lost 2 to 0 to
Dave Morey's team last year on the day they dedicated the new stadium. Quite naturally that defeat
is irritating.

DAN McGUGIN (Van·
